When we could see relief as dangerous toxic smoke chokes major American cities

I'm gonna bring in ginger now and it's nice to see you ginger and I think the question on everyone's mind is how much longer does all of this last right smoke and flooding and the answer to both is we will get rid and get some relief in both cases but in both cases it will take a day or two so let me explain we'll start by reflecting on just how much rain fell in the hill country of Texas we're talking about more than a foot widespread in that gray area but some areas had up to 27 inches recorded some of the radar estimates were above 30 inches close to Uvalde there so really insane amounts of water now this morning there are still flash flood warnings there are still rivers that are high and that's the problem it takes some time for that to go down just check Chicago's AQI it's 417 this morning remember you don't want to spend a lot of time outdoors if it's above 150 so when you go out check air now gov and anywhere from Minnesota right down through Wisconsin into the Mid-Atlantic like Baltimore and Philadelphia were waking up and this afternoon could still have poor air quality timing wise though we will start to see some relief as we get into Saturday night here in New York City it will start to push out of Michigan by Saturday morning and then it'll kind of just be diluting a bit George okay ginger thanks very much
